Here i am, bouncing around online with Sanctuary on in the background. I had 3 episodes in my DVR to catch up on. (still haven’t watched Heroes or Sarah Connor either)

anyhow

the Instinct episode was stupid. no biggie. fine for background entertainment. then i put on Revelations part 1 and who should cross my screen… Methos.

mutherfucker.

first Joe, now Methos. who’s next Duncan Mc Leod of the Clan Mc Leod?

back when the internet was new and exciting and it took 30 minutes to download a 20sec *.wav file (there were no MP3s), i collected a bunch of sound clips from my favorite movies and TV shows. some i used to customize windows sounds (ie, when i shut down my computer I’d hear Hal “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”), other sounds were purely for my own entertainment or to show friends, hey, look what I found… it’s the Goblin King singing the opening to “Magic Dance”. so naturally, i had several Highlander clips.

one i recall in particular…

Methos (to Duncan): I killed, but i didn’t just kill 50, I didn’t kill 100, i killed a thousand. i killed ten thousand. . . and i was good at it. and it wasn’t for vengeance, it wasn’t for greed; it was because i liked it. Cassandra was nothing. her village was nothing. and do you know who i was? I was death. Death on a horse. when mothers warned their children that the monster would get them… that was me. I was the nightmare that kept them awake at night. is that was you want to hear? the answer is yes. oh yes.

and yes, i just typed that from memory. i might google it to see if the quote is even accurate, assuming that some other idiot out there has it memorized.

ha! yes. here you go. link about 2/3 the way down.

but i’m on a tangent, and this has nothing to do with the episode of Sanctuary that i’m watching right now. in fact it’s been paused for quite some time so i could right this and revel in the fact that Methos has returned. except he’s not Methos anymore. he’s Dr James Watson. stupid show. I hope he has a sword.

stupid show. now he’s the real Sherlock Holmes. idiocy. why do shows feel it necessary to drag in real and/or well known literary figures? rather than create their own characters, they draw on ones everyone’s already familiar with. it’s a cop out.

Dr. Magnus’ “gift” was longevity, yet longevity came with the other “5’s” gifts. well, 3 of the others, anyway. she got gypped if you ask me.

i wasn’t paying too much attention at the beginning of the show. i think either Methos or Jack the Ripper is a double agent, but i don’t know which one. probably Methos.

the invisible girl, descendant of the invisible man, is annoying. weak melodrama. blah blah blah. you have the power, if only you believe in yourself.

the episode ends with Dr Magnus discovering that the lost vampire city they were going to, to retrieve the last vial of vampire blood from has been destroyed whilst Ashley and Henry have been captured by the Cabal.

on to part 2.
